    Union...eh. It does what it's supposed to, that is marry off Luke and Mara. The scene with the wives was pretty funny. Otherwise, it was a big meh. Not great, but not terrible either.

    I've never read Union, haven't been able to find it. But hey, I know what happens. Luke marries Mara. End of story. ;)

    Ultimately, you summed up the entire story. They try to have a subplot with some former Imperials, but that gets resolved rather cleanly in the end and doesn't end up being important.

    I have Union around somewhere, I've been meaning to dig it up to re-read before the wedding. If I can find it I'll let you have a read. It's a cute story.

    EDIT: It was the first place I looked!

    Republic Commando: Hard Contact was really good! :)

    Can't wait for the sequel Triple Zero!

    Getting ready to read Shatterpoint, I've heard it is really good.

    I enjoyed Traitor so I should enjoy this one to!

    Shatterpoint is one of my favs. It's really descriptive, the plot is excellent. Typical from Stover. ;) You should like it.

    Some of those listed in the timelines are ebooks, so they're easy to miss when you're trying to read everything.

    Some of the ebooks have been inserted into other books after they've been out for a while.

    Ebooks?
    What are ebooks, where do you get them?
    Since they have been out a while are they in real book form then?


    ARGH! How am I to complete my set now? Do you print them out?

    eBooks are books you can only get online. Not sure where you can get them though.

    amazon has all the ebooks for download, in a couple different formats usually. They are copy-protected so they can't be printed, though.

    If you had mt patience, you could re-type them word-for-word on WordPad and print it out. Ha! They didn't think about us long-haired OCD nerds when they made it copy-safe!

    I'm not saying I do that sort of thing, for starters I think I'm too lazy to do that. I'm just saying there's people that do that sort of thing... ;)

    It costs around $20. I think it's maybe $24.99.

    Can't wait for the Unseen Queen. :D I could get that one early I hope...
